Moshe, stop flaming other distros, it's not nice. I am a Debian lover as
yourself and btw, I run woody on production server for almoust 6 months now
and I never complained.
Gentoo is nice too, Debian should get some of the Gentoo's emerge abilities,

People who are interested in their OS as a working tool would be satisfied
